Welcome To Homesteading And Survival By The Prepared Family

Homesteading and Survival by the Prepared Family approaches prepping from a self-reliance and insurance mindset. We have home insurance, car insurance, life insurance, and health insurance - and we all should focus on self-reliance insurance for the entire family or mutual assistance group as well.

Teaching our children, grandchildren, the community, and ourselves the skills to survive any type of man-made or natural disaster is at least as important as making that monthly car insurance payment.

In our modern society the focus on tech gadgets, celebrity antics, and packed activity schedules often garners more attention than what is truly important in life - and necessary to ensure the longevity of our loved ones.

Homesteading and Survival will guide you along the path to achieving a more self-reliant and prepared lifestyle with a back-to-the-basics approach to living.

#Preppertalk

To interact with the largest online preparedness community, use the #preppertalk hashtag on Twitter! Survivor Jane authored the Twitter hashtag to create a virtual gathering place for preppers from both around the United States and across the world and to share details of upcoming preparedness events, such as the highly successful Prepper Camp held in Saluda, North Carolina. The hands-on self-reliance preparedness expo is believed to be the first of its kind in America.

Use #preppertalk hashtag anytime on Twitter to interact with other self-reliant individuals. From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. each evening a multitude of preppers "gather" on Twitter to chat, just tag you tweets and responses with the prepper hashtag to join the conversation.

#Preppertalk is now widely used on Google+ as well!
